Spinning blades forged of blackest sin,
Whirl and twirl from the evil within,
Wrought by a hate that I will never understand,
These bastards of Satan have butchered another innocent man.
OH
Vile and sick are these cowards, in their false belief,
For there is no religion that makes murder its decree.
For they come to rob, and they come to steal from the innocent souls
of their own little children who are to young for hate to know.
They teach them from their youth, and in their hearts…evil they sow.
And they watch in darkest glee as the hatred in their own children grows.
FOR
Spinning and turning,
The steel of evil is yearning,
And death is its name
For the days of sorrows
Fast approach our tomorrow
when evil will be at the top of its game.
YET
Even still,
I can’t find it in my will
to kill in anybody’s name.
For cant you see,
Life is sacred to me.
SO
Where do I stand,
in this evil land?
For I am taught to forgive,
However, this is darkness
That must not live.

Come, let us reason together
And seek peace in His name forever.

This ending is excellent a powerful poem and so masterful!!!!
lady peg
powerful poem ...
I'm glad we can at least get it out on paper
I've been sick all day.
I'm trying to understand what possible use I can be.
How can I help,to stem the tide of misery that is
approaching us all. Those poor families, I cried and
prayed on and off all day.How can we fight such evil,
save for 'God's intervention, yet people still don't get it,
and the country is divided.God be with us!
I wish for all the killings to stop, my friend...
I think it's in the Lord's hands and may not be
resolved until His coming...
EXCELLENT, Alan

This subject just pisses me the f*** off, sorry to be so strong here but I am tired of the deaths happening to our brothers, it is time to, unfortunately, fight back...Ed
This is a kind of hatred and horror that is so incredibly hard to make any sense of at all.
Thank you for sharing this, and I shall endeavor to keep all of the families of these people in my thoughts and prayers.
